Hello,
I am currently the human of a 3 year old declawed cat. He showed up in my home at just over a year (despite 2 dogs) and since no one claimed him decided to stay. Somehow he can still catch birds and mice with no claws, but he's far from feral. Recently we moved to a new place. Very similar in the amount of green space around but more cats. And the dogs stayed behind, not something he seems to mind.
Since moving he has had to stake new territory, and has been having run ins with some of the locals. I have been secretly watching him from the window socializing and making friends, but there is this one black persian who he keeps on getting into it with. The persian has claws and my cat now has a nasty gash across his nose. I know he can hold his own but is there anything I can do to help? I'm not going to force him to become an indoor cat (much to by girlfriends dismay) but am growing concerned that he's an easy target. I wish there was some way to reverse the amputation. Has anyone had any luck with prosthetics? Maybe something diamond tipped made out of reinforced titanium?
Thanks.
